What are Wall Street analysts saying about Marriott International stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Marriott International stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Marriott is currently benefiting from Starwood acquisition, rising North-American business, sizeable international exposure and an attractive brand-position. Marriot’s shares have outpaced the industry in the past year. The company also saw upward revisions for 2018 earnings over the last 60 days. Notably, with the acquisition of Starwood, Marriott became the world's largest hotel company. In fact, this buyout is likely to result in a bigger brand with increased scale and a robust development pipeline in the long run. Yet, lingering political uncertainties in key international markets and currency headwinds might continue to limit revenue growth. Moreover, integration risks linked to Starwood purchase is an added concern. Even so, its investments in technology for hotel bookings are anticipated to improve guest experience." (1/19/2018)

2. Evercore ISI analysts commented, "We're increasing our 2017-2019 earnings estimates following Marriott's Investor Day, which took place earlier this week. We've increased our 2017 Adj. EBITDA and EPS estimates by +1.6% (to $2.96bn) and +3.4% (to $4.00), with the latter specifically helped by a more robust forecast for share repurchases. Normalized for adjustments between 'Reported' and 'EVRISI Adjusted' EBITDA, our 2017, 2018, and 2019 EBITDA estimates are +1%, +2%, and -9% versus current Consensus. (We continue to forecast an industry downturn in 2019-2020, followed by a recovery thereafter). We've increased our price target to $90 (from $86). However, given total return potential of only +2%, which keeps MAR firmly within the bottom third of our overall REIT + Lodging coverage universe, we are maintaining an 'Underperform' rating on the shares." (3/23/2017)

3. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "Marriott International held an investor day at the New York Marriott Marquis Times Square. This is the first investor day since the Starwood transaction closed last year. The tone was bullish with respect to the outlook for global travel and opportunities for MAR to expand its system. Management presented a potential three-year outlook for earnings growth and return of capital to shareholders. Lastly, an update on the integration was provided as well as opportunities for the Starwood brands." (3/22/2017)

Marriott International (NASDAQ:MAR) Analysts' Consensus Rating

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for company stocks using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.

MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.
